Common Chimney Problems

Chimneys stand above the roof, so they take the full force of the weather. Common faults include cracked or loose chimney pots, a crumbling cement crown on top, spalled bricks where the face has flaked off, and worn mortar joints. Any of these can let water into the stack.

Damp Patches Near the Chimney Breast

A damp patch on the wall or ceiling near your chimney breast is a common sign of a chimney problem. Rain can soak through porous bricks, run down an open flue or get past worn flashing. We trace where the water is coming in so the right part gets fixed.

Safe Access for Chimney Work

Chimney repairs are done at height, often above a steep roof. We use scaffolding or a proper roof ladder and edge protection so the work is done safely. Setting up the right access also means we can take a close look at the whole stack, not just the part you can see.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my chimney needs repairing in Salisbury?

Look for cracked or leaning pots, missing mortar between bricks, bricks with flaking faces, plants growing from the stack and damp patches near the chimney breast inside. You may also find bits of brick or mortar in the gutter or garden. If you see any of these, get the chimney checked.

Can you repair a chimney pot in Salisbury?

Yes. We can re-bed a loose chimney pot, replace a cracked one or cap a pot you no longer use. Loose pots are a safety risk in high winds, so it is worth fixing them quickly. We can also fit a cowl at the same time to keep rain and birds out.

Is a leaning chimney in Salisbury dangerous?

A leaning chimney should be checked soon. Some lean slowly over many years as damp attacks the mortar on one side, and may be stable for now. Others are close to failing. Only a close inspection can tell. If the stack is unsafe, it may need rebuilding or removing.
